Template:Stub One of at least three Greek words translated into English as âloveâ (the other two are âphilosâ and âerosâ). Agape is usually understood as a spiritual form of love in contrast to the thought of philos which is a brotherly sort of love and eros which is erotic or sexual love.
In the Greek texts of the New Testament, the word agape is used in many places to refer to the love of God, the love of Christ and the living love of the Holy Spirit that unites all men in brotherhood.
